Cannot create hostnames (glue records) via GoDaddy API - UI works but API blocked

[saifkhan2k]

I’m trying to automate domain provisioning using GoDaddy API.

I can successfully update nameservers via:

PATCH /v1/domains/{domain}

But hostname (glue) creation fails:

POST /v1/domains/{domain}/hosts - 404
PATCH /v1/domains/{domain}/records - 422

Even after:

• Forcing default GoDaddy nameservers (ns01/ns02.domaincontrol.com)
• Waiting 30+ minutes
• Retrying API

However, the SAME hostname creation works instantly in GoDaddy UI:

ns1.example.com → IP
ns2.example.com → IP

After manually creating hostnames in UI, API allows setting nameservers.

So effectively:

• NS change via API works
• Hostname creation via API blocked
• UI hostname creation works

This blocks full automation.

Questions:

1. Is glue/hostname creation restricted by account tier?
2. Is there any way to enable it via API?
3. Is there a supported automation workaround?

Environment:

• GoDaddy REST API v1
• .com domains
• Portfolio / reseller style account
• Auth via sso-key

Expected:
If hostname creation is allowed in UI, it should also be allowed via API, or at least return clear permission errors instead of 404/422.
